Inpixon Swarm UWB

NANOTRON_0039_b5Ultra-Wideband Radio and Sensor Module for RTLS

The new and compact Inpixon Swarm UWB, (its predecessor is known as Swarm Bee ER), featuring a Qorvo Ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver, is an advanced wireless UWB module for location-based applications. It is designed for enhanced resolution and precise (TDoA) real-time location tracking. Tailored for applications demanding highly accurate distance or location information, the Inpixon Swarm UWB achieves centimeter-level indoor positioning accuracy.

Boasting superior range capabilities, exceeding 80 meters, this module expedites custom device designs, minimizing development complexity and costs through its integrated features and components. It offers easy placement on PCBs, either manually or through automation.
